OOC: Many thanks to the Raiders for allowing us to use their story as one of the army-wide stories. Please refer to the Into the Fire story for background information.
Mission outline for the Dark Dragoons, Raiders, and Drill squads.
Mission Outline – Ord Durall
I. Situation
A. Enemy Forces
(1) Situation
a. Enemy Forces
Undetermined amount of local militia/pirate types from 300-500
2-3 squads of indetermined military forces; this will be your primary target of opportunity
b. Weather
The planet Ord Durall is hot and unusually dry. Sudden dust storms can appear which are usually followed with precipitation in the form of sleet or hail. This does not produce much ambient moisture however as it quickly evaporates.
c. Terrain
Very rocky and hilly in the outer regions. Many old mines and adjoining support trails exist as do arterial roads which criss-cross the operational area. Urban environments are low, indicative of Outer Rim planets which grow in jumps and spurts, trading abundance of space and privacy for central organization.
(2) Capabilities
The enemy is capable of holding actions. Once pinned down, it will be hard to break the encirclement. This is one way in which the enemy can overcome an opponent’s better arms and training.
(3) Probable course of action
Currently it appears as if the locals are more willing to drive away an opponent than to outright destroy them. Many factors will decide if this remains the case.
B. Friendly Forces
Direct local assistance is not anticipated in any form.
C. Attachments
View of Ord Durall from orbit
Operational zone, including initial squad locations
II. Mission. Who, what, when, why, where (coordinates)
This mission is more politically sensitive in nature than most. What we have is a planet willing to make direct deals with the Empire rather than go it alone and trade with the highest bidder. According to your indoctrination courses, you know that trade leads to political ties leads to alliances. The planetary leadership is willing to trade with us, the average citizen perhaps less so.
Therefore, you have two goals: find out who assassinated the ambassador (this is the stated goal allowed by the Serapin system leadership) and eradicate the opposition; or at least determine its origin and funding. However, take care to not damage infrastructure or civilian lives. If the citizenry turns against the concept of Imperial trade, your lives will be the first that will be directly affected.
The following to be determined by squad leaders
III. Execution
A. Concept of operation
(1) Scheme of maneuver
(a) Formation
(b) Route
(c) Tactical mission to subordinate units
(2) Plan of fire support
B. Subunit subparagraphs
C. Coordinating instructions
IV. Service support
A. Supply
(1) Rations - 2-3 weeks supply
(2) Uniform and equipment - standard issue
(3) Arms and ammunition - standard issue
(4) Captured material
B. Transportation
C. Medical evacuation
D. Personnel - Raiders, Dark Dragoons, and Drill squads
E. Prisoners of war
V. Command and signal (if necessary, will be provided by squad leaders)
A. Signal
(1) Frequencies and call signs
(2) Pyrotechnics and signals
(3) Challenge and password
(4) Code words
B. Command
(1) Commander leader location - Commander in field is PSG Rizzit
(2) Chain of Command
PSG Rizzit
PSG Peacemaker
What does this mean for you?
All members of Raiders squad will continue here with the story introduced in the Into the Fire thread.
All other squad members should wait until their SLs determine how they will be introduced into the story. Additional information will be posted in a separate post in the near future. That will also be where any questions will be answered.
Enjoy.

A couple of quick notes I forgot to add.
The Raiders will presumably have been dropped off and have only an inter-system shuttle at their disposal. A Gamma-class shuttle to be specific.
The Dark Dragoons and Drill squads will be dropped off by the VSD Dominion which will remain in orbit, thus leaving the planet in essentially a blockaded state.

While TJ watched over his wounded brother, Rizzit, Otto, and the3djedi went into enemy territory to take out the transmission jammer. Armed with little explosives, their rifles, Otto's lightsaber, and individual weapons, the three marched on into battle. Upon coming within a mile of the gate, they were fired upon with missles, lasers, detenators, and every other weapon of sort. Acting on instinct, they ducked for cover in a small crater nearby.
"Phew! That was close!" exclaimed Jed.
"Yea, good thing this hole was nearby." replied Otto.
"Look, we have to find another way around." said Rizzit. "We can't inform the other squads of our position unless we take down the jamming device."
"Right! Let's try and sneak around back." said Otto.
Meanwhile, aboard the VSD Dominion...
Solidus and Peacemaker sat in a confrence room with their respective squads. There was a holo-screen in the room which would show them where a signal was being sent from when one was sent. The 13 stormtroopers all sat at the table, with Peacemaker at the head of the table, and Solidus oppisite him. The two squads were being briefed the best they could for the mission.
"What's taking them so long?" asked PeaceMaker. "Don't they know that we can't go down until we get a signal from them?"
"I really don't know sir." replied Solidus,"But I am sure there is a reason that we are not being contacted."
PeaceMaker sighed. "I suppose the best thing to do would be to get some rest. We'll come get you when it's time for battle."
"I agree." Commented Solidus. "Go get some rest."
On their SL's command, the Dark Dragoons and Drill Squads each headed to their sleeping quarters while their commanders remained in the room.
"Peacemaker...."Solidus began.
"Yes?"
"Do you really think that this is wise? Waiting here like this I mean. They could be in trouble?"
"Unfortunately, we have no idea where the RAIDERS are. Ord Durall is a big planet, all we can do is hope they are allright."

TJ scanned the horizon once more through the ship's front viewport before heading to the back of the ship to check on JR. He found the corporal just as he had left him, sleeping soundly, his wound bandaged up and rehealing itself.
Finding everything under control, TJ moved around the shuttle, checking equipment, monitoring scanners and checking on the world outside. The data they had received indicated a few outposts not too far away. The presence of these were worrying TJ, he couldn't exactly put an answer together for why he felt this way.
Suddenly, as he was re-checking a status report, he felt the ship shudder. Just a little at first, until he could feel the whole ship rocking back and forth on it's landing gear. Rushing to the cockpit, he looked out to find sand and rocks whipping around in the air, slowly passing over them. Watching stones glance off the hull of the ship, TJ jumped as a couple more sliced across the glass, leaving a three-inch long scratch.
'Where are the shields,' he thought to himself, 'they were up five minutes ago.' Checking the status board, TJ found that something had found it's way into the shield generator and had temporarily knocked it out. Easily repairable, but he would have to go outside to fix it.
Before long the storm was just about off the back of the ship and moving away. As the sand settled down, TJ caught sight of something moving around, many kilometres in the desert. Accessing the cameras, he zoomed in to find half a dozen militia men, slowly moving in the direction of the Raider's ship. Above their heads, the soldiers held large steel shields as if to protect themselves from something.
'But what?' he wondered. At that moment, the hail began to fall.....

OOC: Sorry if it ends kinda like TJ's, but I wanted to fill in what happened with us three.
Rizzit, Jed, and Otto swiflty and silently made their way around where they thought the enemy troops to be. Rizzit held up his hand for silence. He quickly pulled out a pair of macrobinoculars and began staring something down.
"Guys..." He began. "We've made it around the troops we wanted to evade...but there's another squad up ahead."
"Can we take them out?" Jed asked.
"I think so..." Rizzit said, peering harder into the binoculars. "There's about six or seven of them...not heavily armed..."
"That won't be a problem." Otto insterted.
"Ok." Rizzit brought down the binoculars. "Well, lets get moving then."
The trio made their way toward the small squad of enemies.
"Let's try to pick a couple of them off, and then we can have at 'em, sound ok?" Rizzit asked.
Jed and Otto nodded. Getting on their knees, Jed, Otto, and Rizzit aimed carefully at the men. When they pulled the trigger, they realized too late that they had all been aiming for the same guy, which made the situation a little worse for them. Not panicking, they dropped to the ground and opened fire. 3 of the enemies fell, and the other 3 still alive dove behind a small boulder. Using all of his training, Jed rolled and ducked out of the way of the incoming shots. He finally managed to get a couple solid hits on one, and he went down. Otto force-threw a rock toward another, which distracted it enough to let Rizzit get a shot off, and finally, Otto himself fired the final shot directly into the last man's brains, causing him to fall...
"Quick thinking men." Rizzit praised. He suddenly thought of something. "I hope no one heard all this."
"Yeah, that would be bad." Otto said.
"We should get moving as like NOW!" Jed added.
"Yeah. OK, lets go." Rizzit started briskly off, and Otto and Jed hurried to catch up.
A few minutes later, the wind began to blow. Dust flew up and got in their masks, causing extremely poor visibility.
"Arrg...I can't see a dang thing!" Jed muttered.
"Let's just hope it doesn't start to hail or anything nasty like that..." Otto started. But even as he spoke, the hail began to fall.

Meanwhile back at the ship the hail was hitting the ship hard and was slowly damaging it's hull. TJ knew that his own life and JR's life depended on the shields so he grabbed a suit and knowing that he needed cover he ignited a lightsaber and cut off the base of a table using the table for protection.
While this was happening JR got up and slowly limped toward the room where TJ was working.
"What re you doing?" JR asked.
"I have to go out and fix the shield." came the reply.
"What's wrong with it?"
"I'm not quite sure but it will be easily repairable."
"O.K. then hurry."
JR moved to the view port and was suprised when he saw the malitia men. He grabbed his blaster and limped as fast as he could to grab a suit.

one Day later, Peacemaker was again in the Conference Room, waiting for any Signals. So far, they have stillno clue where the raiders are, no signal from them and the only thing what Peacemaker had done in the last day was waiting, waiting to get dropped down. He knows that waiting was a part of the Life from a Soldier, waiting for the next Battle, waiting that the enemy apears, waiting...
The best a Soldier could do in this Moment was getting some Rest, but Peacemaker wasent in the mood to sleep now, he hates to wait, so he thought the whole Time what they can do and he always comes to the only one result, it will not help to sit around and wait, they must go down to the Planet.
Peacemaker grapped his Com and opend a chanel to the Bridge
"Platoon Seargeant Peacemaker here, can you make a random scan of the Planet to give us at lest a little clue in which area they could be."
"Allright Peacemaker, we do our best to give you something, one moment ..."
Peacemaker walked to the Holoscreen and lokked at the pic of the Planet, "Thats the Place where we are needed, thats the Place where we should be, not sitting here and waiting."
again he grapped his Com and opend this Time the Dark Dragoons Chanel
"Guys, Peacemaker here, its time to get ready, meet me in full armor and with your weapons in one Hour in the Hangar, we go down to the Planet"
Peacemaker walked out of the Conference Room after he leaved Solidus and Drill Squad also a Message to get rdy and headed to the Shuttle Hangar ...
(OOC: Dark Dragoons, we are going down to the Planet, we make with our Shuttle a overfly of the Planet to get a lifesign from the Raiders, then we head down to make a temp base till we get a Message from them)

While the Dark Dragoons made ready for departure, and Drill was undoubtedly with them; the Raiders were having troubles of their own. Against his orders, JR suited up and went to engage in combat while TJ tried to fix the shields. The hail had not stopped, and would hopefully stop before the Dark Dragoons made their approach with Drill Squad.
JR knew he was taking a risk, but he had to do something. He stood under the part of the ship that would give him cover and fired at the militia men. Thinking stupidly, they used their shields to block JR's shots. Upon doing this, they were crushed by hail stones and got knocked unconcious. TJ saw this and began to wonder where the shots came from. He then realized they came from the ship.
"JR, what do you think you're doing?" he asked concerned.
"I think I'm saving our butts." he replied. "I may be recovering, but I can still fire a rifle."
"Be more careful. If they weren't so stupid, you could have been hurt worse. Go rest for a while. We need you in top shape soon."
"Yea okay. I'm gonna go rest for a while." JR said as he went back in the ship.
TJ shook his head and laughed. "Crazy kid, he's going to be his own undoing. I gotta get these shields up before it's too late." he said as he went back to finish up.
Meanwhile, the other three were having their own problems. Their stormtrooper helmets were taking a pounding, and they needed some cover. The rebels were all hiding inside their base, and would not let some "imperial trash" in with them.
"Otto, Jed, this place is undefended. Let's go take out the communications jammer." said Rizzit.
"Rizz, the hail is too much. Our helmets are beginning to crack." Jed said.
"Shoot. I liked this helmet too. Oh well, c'mon we might not get another chance at this. Otto, take out yor saber."
"Why? No one to attack?"
"It will act as a shield from the hail. Just hold it above our heads."
Ah, okay. Lets get going."
"Right."
The three went through the base, with Otto's saber giving them protection. They finally came to this area with a tower that been demolished. Near the tower, there was a black rectangular object that looked like it could rotate. Rizzit began to laugh.
"What a waste of time" he said.
"What do you mean?" asked Otto.
"This storm...it took out the jammer. This is what we came for boys."
The other two began to laugh. Rizzit then came to his senses as did the others.
"Guys, we gotta get back to the ship. JR and Teej might need some help." Rizzit said.
"Yea, they were in pretty rough shape when I left." Otto agreed.
Rizzit pulled out his comm device. With the communications jammer down, he could contact the VSD Dominion.
"This is Platoon Sergeant Rizzit Blackheart. Do you copy? Solidus? Peacemaker? Are you there?"
"This is Peacemaker, finally a signal from you. Why so long?"
"A communications jammer was placed down here. We had to take it out. There is a current hail storm right now, and it actually took out the jammer. I'll have JR transmit coordinates from our ship and you can meet us there. Is Solidus with you?"
"Yes, he's here. He's asleep."
"Well, I am contacting JR and he will transmit coordinates. Expect them shortly."
"Roger that."
"JR, this is Rizzit. Are you there?"
"I'm here Rizz."
"The jammer was taken out by the storm, and we're on our way back. Send the VSD Dominion the current cooridinates of our ship so they can begin landing when they feel it is safe."
JR went over to the control panel of the ship, and pressed a few buttons. He finally got a light to flash when he was done.
"Okay they're sent. Do you really think it's safe for them to make a trip down here during the storm?"
"I don't know JR. I have a feeling they're coming now though. That squad is always known for coming through when others are in need of aid. I've never worked with Drill though, I wonder how the new recruits will handle this."
"Well, we'll have to hope they make it okay."
"Hope....that's something we don't always have the luxury of having. You realize that right?"

After watching his brother limp back up the ship's ramp, TJ took a look around him, towards the horizons on all sides. Once he found that there was no danger, he turned back to the shield generator. After several minutes of examination, TJ found a small electronic gizmo inside.
'That shouldn't be there,' he thought to himself, going over the schematics in his head. As he reached up to remove it, a sharp jolt of electricity shot through his hand and up his arm. Instictively, TJ pulled his hand away and before his eyes the small machine blow in to several pieces and lodging itself into the shuttle's insides. A pop could be heard and as TJ glanced up, he could see a small trail of smoke shoot up into the air. Suddenly, the shield sputtered to life, before shutting off again.
"Rizz, we have a problem," TJ said over the comm., "the hail's pouring down out here, and were pinned without shields. Worse yet, if the militia didn't know our location before, they do now." It was only now that TJ looked at his hand to find several pieces of shrapnel embedded in his flesh. Wincing, he stood and cautiously made his way for the ramp. 'What a turn of events, we've had."

At the rate the hail was falling, it looked like the RAIDERS would need a new ship to get out. TJ and JR were now both in need of medical assistance. To make matters worse: Otto, who seemed to be good at healing wounds, was trying to make his way back to the ship with the other RAIDERS. They thought they were going back to meet the others, but little did they realize they were walking into a nightmare.
Otto, Rizzit, and the3djedi ran from cave to cave, cliff to cliff, trying to avoid the perilsome hail. Then, like as if by work of the force, the hail stopped. The three raiders stood around in awe.
"What happened?" asked Rizzit. "Otto did you do something?"
"Wasn't me! I'm not father nature."
"No, but you can use the force."
"Wasn't me."
"Okay, let's use this opprutunity to get back to the ship ASAP! Otto, you can turn your saber off now. I just hope the others are starting their approach now."
"Yea, Let's hope...."said Jed as the three made a run for the ship unaware of the disaster that awaited them.

*******One Hour Later******

Rizzit, Otto and Jed arrived to see that their ship was badly beat up. From the looks of things: it was either fired upon, or something had blown up inside. The three of them approached the ship with their jaws dropped. Without wasting another second, they went inside the ship to check on TJ and JR who were okay, for the time being. JR was still limping, and TJ was now wincing.
"You guys okay?" asked Rizzit.
"Ya, we're okay." remarked JR, "but TJ seems to be hurt real bad."
"What exactly happened here?" asked Otto.
"I was trying to fix the shields, and I found this gizmo and tried to remove it. The machine blew up and left my arm like this." said TJ as he lifted his arm up to reveal a badly wounded arm. He was in dire need of medical assistance, and the RAIDERS prayed that the Dark Dragoons had a medic onboard.
Rizzit, not willing to watch his friend and invaluble trooper stay in pain. He immediately radioed Peacemaker on the Dominion.
"Peacemaker, this is Rizzit. Are you there?"
"Yes...I am here. What's going on?"
"We need you down here now. The hail has stopped, bring Solidus and his squad with you. Please get down here in a hurry though, we need to make use of your medic."
"Roger that. We will see you shortly." said Peacemaker as he closed the connection.
"Well?" said Jed. "Are they coming?"
"Yes..." said Rizzit with a sigh. "But will they be in time?"

While the Raiders awaited anxiously for the backup, Peacemaker and Solidus met once more with their squads in the confrence room. Peacemaker went first, and gave the orders to the Dark Dragoons, the time for action was now: so he made it short. Solidus follwed Peacemaker, and stated they would be taking two seperate shuttles down to the planet. As the two squads make their way to the hangar bay, Peacemaker runs back to grab his medical droid.
"Do you need someone healed?" The droid asked when it was turned on.
"I wish I could say no to that.." Peacemaker replied.
The two squads reach the hanger and gear up for the flight down to Ord Durall. The Dark Dragoons were expecting the worse, and the Drill Squad not knowing what to expect take off into space along with the Dark Dragoons. This was the first flight into space for most of Drill, and it was also their first official mission. The shuttles left the hangar side-by-side, but one got further than the other and eventually became lost. The plan was to meet up down on the planet. in the same location as the RAIDERS, this did not look like it would be happening now. Drill was too excited to think of that now. They were busy discussing what fun this would be.
"Solidus..." Shardukars began. "Do you think we'll come across some rebels and actually get to kill them?"
Drill squad" Solidus said "remember your training, and remeber who your fighting for, the RAIDERS are depending on us and the Dark Dragoons"

Solidus pulled his blaster up, checking the cartridge again, making sure that it was operational. He knew that the last time he went in, he was special ops, then he got the cushy job. "Gah, why me?" he silently exclaimed to himself, pushing his legs harder into Durall's surface, accelerating past Crono as he jumped over another dead animal of some kind.
"Wait up!" Crono shouted, obviously a bit winded as he approached his commanding officer.
"Yeah, whaddya want?" Solidus said, slowing a bit so that the young recruit could catch up to him.
"I was wondering, how many rebels have you killed?" Crono asked, a look of wonderment in his eye that Solidus had found in so many recruits before this.
"Well, when you get to be Drill leader, you know you've killed enough, I guess." He said, looking a little lower than he should have been. Green laser fire spurted out and he wrapped his arm around the boy's shoulders, driving him to the ground. "TAKE COVER!!" He shouted, raising his weapon to fire. He watched Peacemaker give the same order, firing into the void of nothingness, waiting for the next time cycle to occur.

While the Dark Dragoons and Drill squads moved out to go set up base, the RAIDERS were still wondering where they were. Unfortunately for them, they landed near one of the regional forts. They two groups were quite a distance from each other, which made things complicated. Peacemaker looked around a bit with Solidus. The hot climate was not to either of their liking. Peacemaker decided to radio Rizzit on the com-link to let him know they had arrived.
"Rizzit, this is PeaceMaker. We made it down here, but we can't figure out where you are."
"Great to hear you guys made it down here. Where are you exactly?"
"Well, it's hard to say. There are some cliffs around, and we have some mountain caves. For the most part it is all lava and ash."
"Hmm. I suspect that you are south from us. Do you mind meeting us up North here?"
"No. We can do that. We should be at your base within a few hours."
"Great!" said Rizzit. "We'll see you guys then." said Rizzit as he closed the connection. "Woohoo!~ They made it!" Rizzit shouted as he went to go see TJ and JR.

As the RAIDERs wait for the Dark Dragoons and Drill to show up for medical assistance, the Dark Dragoons and Drill squads have some trouble of there own.
As the two squads look for more cover, the fireing from the enemy seems to get worse, and a little bit mroe accuarate. Crono, not knowing what to do, asks Solidus "well the fireing keeps getting worse, and i dont see any place to move too, do you?"

"No, I don't either." Replied Solidus. Looking around and finding nothing but hot molten ground and high tising cliffs all around.
Relizing their was nothing else to do Solidus grabbed his comlink and sent a transmission to Rizzit.
"Rizzit you there?"
"Ya, what's up?"
"We need whatever assistance you can give."
"K, we'll be right there," he finished off and turned to his troops, "All right Otto, Jed come with me, Teej, JR you guys stay here."
TJ and JR looked at each other than stood up.
"We're coming to," they both said in unison.
Rizzit looked at them both, then with a deep sigh he said, "Alright suit up and fast they need us. By the way JR, take this." He said as he handed him a S-5 Multi-function Blaster Pistol.
JR was stunned, "Thanks."

Jed walked back from the storage area with some medical supplies.
"Jed, I think we're gonna have some trouble..." Rizzit guestured toward an observation window. Several black dots were moving continuously toward their ship, and it looked as if they were heavily armed.
"It isn't DD ot the Drill Squad?" Jed asked, squinting, trying to make out who they were.
"Nope, I radioed them a few minutes back, and they weren't nealry this close. It has to be enemies." He replied.
"Ouch!" JR yelped, as Rizzit began tedning one of his wounds.
"Riz, I'm gonna go out and check them out, OK?" Jed asked.
"OK, but be careful...don't let them see you." Rizzit cautioned. "We don't even know that they know we're here."
"I'm going with him." Otto declared. "He's might need some help."
"Ok." Rizzit turned back toward the two wounded soldiers.
Jed and Otto slowly walked outside the ship, and Jed lifted his pair of macrobinoculars to his eyes. Scanning along the horizon, he zoomed in on the approaching people.
"Hmm...they don't LOOK friendly...WHOA!" he exclaimed. "Wow, they ARE armed!"
"What??" Otto grabbed the binoculars from Jed and peered into them. "Wow, they just let one off! It's coming toward us!"

"Move up!" TK told the two PFCs that followed him, you two go over there assist Corporal Solidus, i'll be with PSG Peacemaker.
"Yes Sir!" They replied as they rush off.
TK quickly load up his MGL-1with a white prosperous grenade. "WHITE CLOUD!" he shouted as he shot the grenade.
The area was filled with a blanket of smoke as the troops took cover behind the Foxholes that the explosions made.
"SARGE! Peacemaker, I can see five armed civilian speeders, I think I can get them, I need a group and some cover fire!" TK shouted at his comlink.
"Are you sure?" Peacemaker replied
"AYE-AYE Sir!" "roger that, SSG Darkjedi will be leading the group, along with Sergeant Shadow, Come by the Mission CP and re-suply, you'll need grenades..."

Otto tried to stretch out with the force to make the incoming missiles avoid their ship. Jed ran inside, back toward the storage room. Looking around, he spotted what he was looking for. He leap over TJ as he ran back outside the ship. Loading the disruptor rifle, he began sighting one of the enemies. After he had diminished two of them, he glanced upward where he incoming missiles had been. Six craters spotted the ground where they had hit, where Otto had dettered their path. Peering back into the sight, he fired again. "dang...missed" he though. Shifting his position, he tried again. Just as he was about to pull the trigger, an explosion rattled the ground. His shot went wild. Looking up again, he saw Otto scrambling off the ground, the explosion haveing knocked him down. He saw Jed with the rifle, and ran over.
"Good thinking." he grabbed the gun from Jed and quickly sighted and fired. Five more of the men fell in 30 seconds.
"Otto! Incoming!" Jed yelled. Otto tried with all his abilities to force push the missiles off track. "this isn't gonna work..." he thought. Then suddenly, he had an idea. He force pulled the missiles just at the right time, and they flew over the ship, and missed by about 100 meters. Picking up the gun, he began to sight the other enemies. Jed ran inside, and nearly ran into Rizzit who was on his way out.
"Jed!" he exclamed. "What's going on?"
"Otto's got the disruptor, and is snipering the guys off. They're firing missiles at us though, so he was using the force to ward them off. I came in to see what YOU were doing." Jed asked.
"TJ and JR are resting, and I need to go help Otto." he said. "Go call the DD and see where the heck they are, we could sure use some support."
"Roger." Jed replied. He quickly made his way to the communications room of their ship. Typing in the appropriate code, he began to radio the DD. "This is Corpral the3Djedi...come in...repeat this is Corpral the3Djedi...dangit, no one's answering." he mused. A burst of static met his ears for an instant, then quieted down, but stayed. "DANGit...our radio's been knocked out...I need to go fix it..."

PFC Slash sat at a mission planning console in the ready room of the Dark Dragoons,looking over the planet's map, when he was interrupted by a call from the bridge.
"Platoon Seagent Peacemaker,we have picked up a faint radio signal from the surface. sounded like one of the Raiders. we have triangulated the singal's origination point. Your unit,along with Drill Squad,led by Solidus,will be making a landing near the point of the broadcast."
"good luck,and get those boys out in one piece."
Slash jumped out of his seat,grabbing hi helmet,and running to the shuttle bay, where he informed the Sarge about the captain's call.
He then sprinted to the armory,grabbed a T-21,some ammo,and the backpack generator,then ran back tot he shuttle bay,where more and more DD troopers were setting up their kits and boarding the shuttle.

Rizzit got to Otto just as he sent a missle back at the militia men killing most of them and severly wounding the rest.
"Good job," Rizzit told Otto, "Let's get Jed an go help the DD and Drill."
"Right." Otto replied.
As they ran back to the ship they saw Jed on the top fiddling with the commication satelite.
"What are you doing?" Rizzit asked.
"Fixing the satelite. Something took it out." Came the reply.
"No time for that we have to go now."
"Right."
Jed slid off the roof and ran to Rizzit and Otto just as a shot went sizzling by his head. As he looked around he saw that the militia men weren't giving up and were firing at them as well as they could.
Rizzit Otto and Jed started to run towards them blasters firing and it wasn't long before the militia's we're killed.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
As Solidus was firing blindly at whatever it was they we're fighting he heard more blaster fire and the sizzle of a light sabre and he knew the RAIDERS had come.
"Quick men, this is our chance let's move." he shouted and both the Dark dragoons and Drill charged firing, rolling, ducking and hiding from and at the enemy.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
JR woke with a start and the first thing he noticed was that there was no pain in his leg. When his vision became less groggy he around and saw a medical droid healing TJ and another healing other troopers who had minor injuries.

The three squads had managed to get themselves sealed into a cave. Rizzit, PeaceMaker and Solidus went to the far side of the cave while the others healed.
"Glad to see you guys finally made it." said Rizzit.
"Yea. We were beginning to think that we'd never catch up with you." replied PeaceMaker.
"What do you mean?"
Everything has gone wrong so far." said Solidus. "To start with we got seperated, and then we didn't even land near your base."
"What I can't figure out is why the regional forts are attacking us." said Rizzit.
Suddenly, blasts and explosions were made at the entrance to the cave. The milita had made their way through.
"We need to keep them from getting too far in." said PeaceMaker. "My medical droid can't take too much damage."
"Let's go then. Otto, Jed, JR: come with me." said Rizzit.
"My squad, come with me." said Solidus.
"Ditto." replied PeaceMaker.
All the troopers, with the exception of TJ and the other two troopers, ran out of the cave with their blasters firing. While that droid mended the wounds of the injured soldiers, the battle still waged on. Rizzit pulled out his Falchette Rifle and began firing at the milita.
"Ooh, cool." said Crono. "When do I get one?"
Rizzit, concentrating more on the enemy right now than Crono ignored him for the time being. This was a team effort, there were more men in the militia than the three squads combined had. Finally, when he could spare a second or two he turned to the rookie.
"I would say when you get promoted and trained how to use one properly."
"Oh cool!" said Crono rejoycing with glee.
Rizzit shook his head and chuckled to himself. "Rookies, they're so....amusing. Then again, so was I when I started out. I guess we all were rookies at some point in our lives." Rizzit was losing his concentration, so returned to focus on the battle. Just when things were looking impossible, something good happened: for one reason or another, the enemy retreated.
"Let's go after them." suggested Shardukars excitedly.
"NO!" said Rizzit. "We're down here to find out what happened to the ambassador. I suggest now that we are all together we make a base somewhere and start looking for the ambassador. PeaceMaker, Solidus: any thoughts on where we can build it? And PeaceMaker, didn't you bring your tanks with you?"

[Following my previous post]
Suddenly a storm of laser bolts struck us with no mercy. PSG Peacemaker shouted "GET DOWN!! GET YOUR BUTTS DOWN!!!!"
TK quickly jumped down and started to crawl towards the CP, a laser bolt landed right infront of him, blowing the sands into his helmet.
"ARH! CRAP, the sensors short circuited!" TK shouted as he took off his helm and throws it away.
-----10 minutes later-----
"Hey Private get me a a walker Pilot's Helm and a radio comlink." TK shouted at sniping101 as the private reloaded his weapon.
"LCP TK, are you sure about this "blow it up" move?" PSG Peacemaker asked.
"Yes sir, hey Snipes get me a box of MGL grenades too please."
"Roger that..."
Everyone quickly ducked down as another barrage of lasers storms in.
"What the f---"
Everyone ducks down again.
"I think there are at least 2 Mass Barrage Cannons there, must be linked to a Solar Array similiar to a TIE's" PM shouted amongst the storm.
"Screw that!" TK quickly said as he loaded a magazine onto his MRB-10 and strapping an MGL-1 onto his back.
A single laser bolt landed infront of the Platoon Sergeant.
TK let out a warcry as he quickly sprinted towards the enemy.
"GET BACK! ARE YOU CRAZY!" PM shouted "DJ, Shadow, go!"--"Yes Sir!"
TK quickly jumped onto the ground followed by the two Sergeants, "What the heck is wrong with you today Corporal?" Asked DJ, "Just doing my job Sarge" TK replied while he deployed his MRB-10.
Well Sir, I will stay here and give you cover fire while you go storm the front...

Peacemaker jumped behind a Stone as another shoot missed his Head.
"Givme the com" he yelled to the corporal who sits besides him
"Peacemaker here, i need my Tanks down here.......WHAT? what do you mean with we cant .....damn you, i dont care about that, bring them down, NOW!" shouted Peacemaker into the com and tossed it away
"Sir, what happend, do we get our Tank Support?" asked Slash
"No, they wont sent them down atm, cause the Area is Hot, hah as if we would need them if the area would not been hot."
Slowly he looked around, his Troopers where splitt over the half Battlefield and the Guns where still intact and shooting. With a quick look over the stone, he checked the Situation, a long free area, no hiding spots, nothing which would help them if they would rush, nothing besides .....
"Allright Dark Dragoons, everyone, get a smoke grenade out, throw them when i tell it you and then rush in, we need to take out that Solar Array."
Peacemaker saw the emotions in the face of every single Trooper. this could be a suicide order, or the only way for a success. But if they would stay where they are, they would also dont have the biggest chances to survive, so they have not much choices left.
After he had eye contact with every single Trooper, Peacemaker shouted
"FIRE IN THE HOLE!!!!!"
The Dark Dragoons throw the smoke grenades and builds a nebula which would cover them for a while.
"STORM THE FRONT, STORM THE FRONT, GO GO GO!!!" with that Peacemaker jumped over the stone and headed with a yell into the direction of the Solar Array, his Troopers besides him.
.......

TK-112 and the two Sergeants laid still and watched as the Platoon Storms in.
"TK, poise your gun!" DJ shouted.
The Platoon finally rushed past them, the two sergeants followed them.
"Hello Corporal, i'll be helping you cover them" Slash shouted.
"Aha an expert, hold this position, i'll take the left point and cover them from that position" "Yes Sir...."
TK quickly ran towards the East of the Solar Arrays and camped his gun.
"Ok Slash, you do the main covering, i'll act like a sniper, you're gun is greater in rate and power, but my gun has better accuracy, tell me if you need a fire in a specific hot spot. remember I cant fire at as many enemies as you can, there's probably not even that many camped in that trench anyway. Understood?" TK whispered onto his comlink,
"Yes Sir, I think I can see around three hot spots towards the enemy's position, why cant they just send us those tanks.." He replied...
Another bolt was fired and the Platoon quickly got down.
"Holy ---- that nearly got me" Shadow shouted
"Is everyone ok?" Peacemaker whispered into his Comlink
"Gung-ho Sir!" Everyone shouted
Everyone was about to stand back up,
"Stop!, everyone get down! TK fire at point '4.219'" Slash shouted as he fired a quick burst at the hot spot.
"What do you see Private?" Shouted
"A trench sir, approximately three militias inside" Slash shouted back.
TK fired an MGL-1 grenade at the trench.
"Does that take care of evereything?" TK whispered onto his Comlink.
"Roger that sir, Platoon Sergeant, you are free to move" Slash whispered.
The Platoon continued its progress...
"Slash, I'm going to move up with platoon to surpress fire from close range, will you be alright here?" TK Shouted.
"Aye-Sir, I'll cover you" He replied.
TK-112 quickly undeployed his MRB-10 and ran towards the platoon, suddenly another bolt landed infront of TK, Slash watched as TK falls down and shouted "MAN DOWN, MAN DOWN, CORPORAL TK-112 WE NEED A MEDIC AT '4.198'"

Peacemaker jumped behind a earthwall as the air around him filled with Blaster bolts, he turned around to see what happend when he heard the shout after a Medic
"Crap"
quickly he grapped a Com
"We need a Medic over here, we are under Heavy Fire, one man down, the rest is hiding behind a few earthwalls."
"Sir, our Medic would it not survive if we send him now over there." comes the Reply
"My Trooper will it not survive without a Medic" yelled Peacemaker back, but he know, as usually he could close the chanel again, there would be no medic come. From his Position, Peacemaker could see TK, he wasent to far away and luckily right behind a earthwall out of range of the enemy guns, but that would not help if he would bleed till death.
"Ok guys, cover me, at 3 i run back to TK. Shoot out of all weapons, givme 5 seconds without enemy fire, thats all i need." shoutet Peacemaker "Ready everyone?" The DD`s nodded
Peacemaker took a deepp breath "1...2...3!" with that Peacemaker jumped up and runs back to TK, heavy Fire from his Troopers covering his back, but the Surprise havent hold long, 2 seconds later, the enemy guns opend Fire and Peacemaker must jump to the left and right to avoid a hit till he could finally jump behind the earthwall. "Phew that was close" After he calmed down for a second he took a look at TK who seems to have only a flesh wound and a nearly headshoot which proves his helmet.
"Boss, they nailed us down, we cant move forward or backwards or they slaughter us" shouted DarkJedi
Peacemaker knows very good that a rush would cost at least half of the Squad, but that was the only chance for the other half to survive and to take out the Enemys
"Damnit, DJ, we have no other chance then rushing or we die all. Ok guys, prepare for the rush at my Command ...." Suddenly Peacemaker heard a very familar sound nearing, nearing fast, very fast from a long Range. When the sound went over his Head he turned to the Enemy gun nest right in Time to see it explode in a Fireball, then another hit and another .....
"WOOOOOOHHHHOOOOOOOOOO OUR TANKS HAVE ARRIVED" yelled Peacemaker "OK; TAKE THEM OUT, GO GO GO!!!"
With a martial yell, the Soldiers started to run with their weapons in the hand
......

While the DarkDragoons were heavily bombarding the place, the RAIDERS devised a plan to go discover what exactly happened to the ambassador. Solidus and the drill squad were with Rizzit and the RAIDERS in the nearby cave.
"We need to help them out Rizzit." said Solidus concerned.
"They won't need it." said Otto. "Their tanks have just arrived."
"Right! Now, I say we head out immediately. With the Dark Dragoons bombarding the place, we are free to head out." said Rizzit.
"Where do you think he is?" asked Solidus."
"I don't know where he is, nor if he's alive. BUT: just north of here and past our base, are some bases, and mining camps. They're just as good a place as any to start." Rizzit suggested.
"Okay then! Drill will accompany you. Let's move out."
"Good. Drill, RAIDERs, LET'S MOVE OUT!"
Two by two the stormtroopers lined up behind Rizzit and Solidus; then marched out of the cave and back towards the RAIDER's base. Rizzit picked up the comm-link.
"PM, we're headed up north. You should be able to handle yourselves until then. Meet us up there if you get a chance."
"Roger that Rizz. Good luck."
"Thanks, and Drill is coming with us. So, I wish you luck as well."
"We'll meet you up there as soon as we can."
"Don't rush! I need you to create enough of a distraction, so we can slip away unnoticed."

Kjerri was not the most excited recruit to enter into a full-scale battle scenario. His arms ached from his pack, his sweat contained only under the fibers of his plastoid armour. As he rushed to catch up with his placement squad; he looked around at the scenery. Sand flew forwards in all directions as a projectile crashed meters in front of him. He quickly through himself to the side of the path, falling into a ditch to take cover from the increasing weapons fire. With Drill squad less then a kilometer in front of him, he shimmied along his belly through the dusty ditch; he would have to crawl his way to the battle.
As he made it past the first bend, and onto the next set of ditches, he met a trooper, lying near his position. He shimmied quicker towards the armour-clad warrior, lying face down in the warm sand.
"Hey!" he yelled out, and then quieted down as another shot went overhead, more sand flying into the ditch. He shook his helmet to the side to brush off the dust, and hurried closer to the trooper.
"Hey," said Kjerri as he rolled the trooper over, "you o..." His breath was cut short. The trooper's helmet was cracked open, the dust and sand blown through a disfigured and rotten face. This trooper had been here for days. It wasn’t often that Kjerri had seen a body on the battlefield; tales of such things are commonplace in every barracks, but this felt different. Where words have not taken you, seeing will. He rolled the trooper back to his original position, and shimmied along the ground once again, this time slightly slower then before. It wouldn't be long now before he would reach the squad.
As he went along the next bend in the ditch, he could hear the sounds of footsteps. He quickly stopped, slowly his hand found his weapon, drawing it ever so carefully to decrease any sound. He rouse from the dust slowly, first on his knees then pressed himself against the wall of sand until he was crouching, weapon cocked and loaded. As the footsteps became closer, he rouse fast, weapon pointing out towards the target. Something stopped him from continuing, a blaster aimed at him in the same position, both looking at each other through white-clad armour, both holding the same make of weapon, both in the same position across from each other. The only difference being the orange patron on his targets shoulders. It was Solidus, Drill squad’s commanding officer.
“Private” said Solidus, as he lowered his weapon, “Don’t you ever do that again. The next time your brains will be spilled out over the sand!”
Kjerri smiled, as he breathed a sigh of relief, lowering his weapon and saluted to his squad leader. He had found Drill squad.

While Peacemaker led the rest of the squad in an attack on the enemy forces - with the newly-arrived tank support - Shadow crouched down next to the injured TK and watched out for any enemies coming to close to the injured soldier.
"How bad does it look?" TK asked. He had been shot in the leg and couldn't see the wound because he was sprawled out on his back.
"I've seen worse," Shadow answered. Let him make what he will of that. The wound was pretty bad, but nothing that couldn't be healed. If that damned medic shows up soon, that is.
"I'm just upset that-" TK cut himself off with a wince of pain. "I guess I'm just mad that I'm out of the fight now."
"Don't worry about. If this thing lasts long enough, maybe you can jump back into the action later."
"I hope so."
A landspeeder pulled up from the south and two young men in blue uniforms jumped out. "We'll take over from here, Sarge," the shorter one called out.
"All right. Take good care of him," Shadow answered. Postitive that the Lance Corporal would be okay, the black-clad warrior pulled his ES-23 out of its holster and ran to join the rest of the Dark Dragoons in the firefight.

As JR ran with Rizzit, Jed, Otto, and the Drill Squad he felt a rush of excitment flow through him. As he looked around he could see the remains of there battle. He scanned the ground and as he saw a trooper lying down on the ground he felt a sudden worriness pulse through him and he was forced to look away.
Otto looked at JR and could sense that something was bothering him. "You OK JR?"
"Uhh ya," JR replied, "It's just that any one of these troopers could have been me."
"Oh, it's just something you'll have to get used to."
"Guys," Rizzit cut in, "I hate to break up your conversation but were coming near the dragoons."
As they came around the corner they raised their blasters.
